>what about the Edit option on the system menu bar? can you not take advantage of the cut/copy/paste functionality of it in your app? or do you totally replace the system menu bar with your own?


Mark, I'm already using the edit option in my app's menu, with cut-copy-paste-clear options in it, I even created a right click shortcut menu with these options as well; the thing is that my client REALLY (??) wishes to see those buttons in the form when the editing mode is activated (I use an activate-deactivate feature on the grid), so that's why I need some routine that reads selected text, copies it to the clipboard, blah, blah...

Thanks,
